🚫🚰 Think before you pour! 🚰🚫
Next time you’re tempted to dispose of your leftover drinks down the sink, think twice. It might seem harmless, but the truth is, pouring certain drinks could lead to costly plumbing issues over time.
While most of us know not to pour cooking oil down the drain, did you know that regularly pouring beer could also be problematic? 🍺 Consumer experts warn that beer, with its sugars and yeast, can gradually build up, causing blockages and bad odours.
The danger doesn’t stop at beer! 🙅 Our favourite cream liqueurs are also culprits. No matter how deliciously tempting they are – from espresso to salted caramel flavoured – these creamy beverages fall into the FOG category (that’s fats, oils, and grease) that are a plumber’s nightmare. 😱
And it’s not just drinks causing havoc! Ever poured tuna liquid down the sink? It might be time to reconsider. Tuna brine and oil, along with tiny food scraps, can conspire with grease and soap to create stubborn fatbergs.
Celebrity presenter Nick Knowles advises against pouring any oils down the drain. Instead, scrape them into a disposable container, like an empty tin, and bin them properly. 🙌
Look out for signs that your sink might be backing up: funky smells, glugging sounds, or slow-draining water. Those are your top clues that something might be amiss. 🕵️♀️
